Update dependencies and CI configurations; remove unused test files

This commit includes the following changes:
- Updated `setuptools_scm` and various dependencies in `pyproject.toml` to their latest versions.
- Changed the GitHub Actions checkout action from version 4 to 5 in CI workflows.
- Removed unused test files and helper functions related to the Assets API client, including type definitions and mock data.

These updates enhance the project's dependency management and streamline the testing setup.
